6 Chapter 1 Social Science and Its Methods TRUE/FALSE 26) The function of social science is primarily to determine social values and goals. Ref: 1 27) Knowledge is made up of knowledge of human beings, including culture and products, and knowledge of the natural environment. Ref: 1 28) Scientific knowledge can be roughly grouped into two major fields humanities and language arts. Ref: 2 29) All expressions of human culture are unrelated and independent. Ref: 3 30) Social science disciplines are clearly defined so that no two fields cover the same subjects. Ref: 3 31) New fields of social science are evolving such as cognitive science. Ref: 4 32) There is little agreement among specialists in a particular social science about what distinguishes their field from others. Ref: 4 33) There are only disadvantages to the social sciences being specialized. Ref: 5 34) If the social sciences are ever going to have a united theory, it will be because people started thinking about the rules and how the various rules of the social sciences fit together. Ref: 7 35) Sociology is the study of the ways in which men and women make a living.
7 Ref: 8 36) Geography has practical applications related to trade patterns, settlement of populations, and aggression and acquisition. Ref: 8 37) Science offers final explanations of the universe and its phenomena. Ref: 9 38) Controlled experiments play a very important role in the scientific method. Ref: 9 39) The saga of Hans, the Thinking Horse is an example of why a good scientist must have both skepticism and imagination. Ref: 10 40) Paul Feurabend argues that the correct methodology is no methodology. Ref: 12 41) To a considerable extent, the social scientist must substitute careful observation and the process of abstraction for experiments. Ref: 13 42) Social scientists have more difficulty than physical scientists in being objective. This means that social science is much less scientific than is physical science. Ref: ) The scientific method is a set of beliefs all scientists use in the same way. Ref: 14
8 Chapter 1 Social Science and Its Methods 44) The line between what is social science and what is natural science is fixed. Ref: 15 45) Social scientists basically use the same approaches and methods and discourage different disciplinary approaches. Ref: 16 46) Today, the attempt to find patterns of social evolution that can be applied to all societies has been largely abandoned. Ref: 17 47) The processing speeds of computers double every two months according to Moore's Law. Ref: 18 48) Social scientists can have a great impact on policies by helping people to understand the issues. Ref: 21 49) One of the great problems in a democracy is getting the majority of people to reach substantial agreement on the major policies that should be followed to create a better society. Ref: 21 50) The function of social science is not primarily to determine social objectives but instead to discover how our objectives can be achieved. Ref: 22 SHORT ANSWER ESSAYS 51) What is the importance of knowing the interrelationships among social science disciplines? Ref: 3-5 Suggested Answer: It is important to know the interrelationships among social science disciplines because of the complexity of expressions of human culture. If you look at an aspect of human life from the perspective of only one discipline you are likely to miss things. In other words, to understand psychology sometimes you have to understand sociology and vice versa.
9 52) Outline the nine steps of scientific research presented in your text as research methods of social science. What is the purpose of these methods? Ref: Suggested Answer: Observe Define the problem Review the literature Observe some more Develop a theoretical framework and formulate a hypothesis Choose a research design Collect the necessary data Analyze the results Draw conclusions The purpose of the scientific method is to systematically answer questions. The scientific method allows researchers to match objective findings with observations. 53) What is the difference between common sense and educated common sense? Why is the distinction important in science? Ref: 18 Suggested Answer: Unlike common sense, educated common sense is rational thought based on observation and the best information available. Educated common sense attempts to match data with theories. This kind of distinction is important to science in that it led to the development of the scientific method. 54) What is the distinction between correlation and causation? Give a hypothetical example that might occur in social research to demonstrate each. Ref: 19 Suggested Answer: Whereas causation implies that changes in one variable bring about change in another variable, correlation simply refers to the simultaneous movement of two variables. For example, the height and weight of adults are correlated, meaning that they are related. If a person is tall, he or she usually weighs more; however height does not cause a person s weight. 55) Albert Einstein said that, "Theories should be as simple as possible, but not more so." Why and how is this important in understanding social science methods and the whole purpose of social science? Ref: 22 Suggested Answer: If a theory is complicated and difficult to understand it will be a harder explanation of the world to test. Complicated theories also obscure the purpose of social science, which is to understand and clarify social issues and social problems. If social scientists use simple theories that are easier to test and explain, they are better able to meet the goals relative to the field of social science.
